  • Authors should be able to see the attention that their articles are receiving in real-time.
  • Publishers, librarians and repository managers should be able to show authors and readers the conversations surrounding their content.
  • Editors should be able to quickly identify commentary where a response is required.
  • Researchers should be able to see which recent papers their peers think are interesting.
